– Kristen Springer, Associate Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University

Feminist scholars have called for engagements with the biological sciences, but what would this look like? And, can biological research so easily incorporate feminist strategies? This symposium explores the intersections of feminist and biological and biomedical research, focusing on sex and gender within neuroscience, epigenetics, immunology, and epidemiology.
